Cedar Rapids, IA, September 7, 2012 – September is National ADHD Awareness Month and brain training expert Courtney Axline of Cedar Rapids is sharing information on the high cost of not treating ADHD.

“Getting in trouble for yelling in the library or not turning in math homework will seem like small change once you consider the long-term risks of not treating the root cause of ADHD,” says Axline. “There are symptoms you could see throughout school, college and even into adulthood. The consequences of not treating ADHD can have a long-lasting impact.” Long-term symptoms of ADHD may include:

• Low self-esteem

• Poor grades

• Difficulty getting into college

• Anxiety and/or depression

• Significant time-management challenges

• Difficulty managing money

• Chronic disorganization

So where does that leave the child with attention problems who is destined to struggle to learn throughout school and beyond? The answer is not accommodation, as many well-meaning school administrations have done in attempts to reduce workloads and remove distractions. The only proven, scientific solution is treating the root cause of weak attention skills: with cognitive skills training.
